    Um...I don't think that's the right equation to begin with.
    Yeah, there are a lot of idiots on Youtube.

    That's definitely not the equation. Hypr's got it right, although some confusion can be rectified with a better worded question.

    Thus (x-3)^2 not x-3 = x^2

    (x-3)2 / 5 - 4x = 11 - x

    = (x2 - 6x + 9) / 5 - 4x = 11 - x
    => (x2 - 6x + 9) / 5 - 4x + x - 11 = 0
    = x2 / 5 - 6x / 5 + 9 / 5 - 3x - 11 = 0
    = x2 / 5 - 6x / 5 + 9 / 5 - 15x / 5 - 55 / 5 = 0
    = (x2 + (-6 - 15)x + (9 - 55) )/ 5 = 0
    = x2 + (-6 - 15)x + (9 - 55) = 0
    = x2 - 21x - 46 = 0

    x1,2 = -p/2 +- sqrt ( (p/2)2 - q )

    p = -21
    q = -46

    => x1,2 = 21/2 +- sqrt (441/4 + 46)
    = x1,2 = 21/2 +- sqrt ( (441 + 184)/4 )
    = x1,2 = 21/2 +- sqrt (625/4)
    = x1,2 = (21 +- 25)/2
    = x1 = (21 + 25)/2 = 23
    = x2 = (21 - 25)/2 = -2


    Thank you very much for watching.

    @Everybody with the the same result: you're right.
    @Everybody with another results: you're wrong.

    And I'll continue mentally snorring, now *yawn*.


    Edit: thanks for the hint Blade
